^Selfness^

Moon in Cancer-->Leo
/moon goes void-of-course at 8:18a PT | 11:18a ET | 3:18p UT
until it enters Leo at 10:56a PT | 1:56p ET | 5:56p UT

He rolls the stone up the hill; down it comes again;
And up it goes. He needs to study his horoscope.
He could find somewhere work in seclusion, labor using
His talents. He sees many birds light on a large tree.

At night he reads, studies, and goes to a book club. 
There he senses who people really are. On weekends he lies in the sun, 
Soaking up some kind of energy and dreaming of an alliance
With someone amazing, real, alive, hands clasped together. 

The pastor in his heritage tells him to take it slow, trust and believe. 
He knew a mountaineer whose figure in the setting sun inspired his
Hope to be someone rugged and real. Who is the woman waiting for
Him? He rolls the stone but is not the mountaineer.  He reads the book.

The birds fly from the limbs of the tree, ramifying as his thoughts.
Now he shall go home to darkness, loneliness, dreamed alliance.

^Raw Self-Being^

Moon in Leo

There is strength because of the Grand Trine in fire signs, as there will be Monday during the eclipse, but also, today and early Monday before the eclipse, the "downward" or relaxing trend of the "dying moon" before the New, which coincides with tomorrow's eclipse.

That means that inwardly you are quite sure of yourself and strong. Outwardly in some phases of your life you may feel like relaxing and getting extra rest. What is wrong with that, at appropriate times? Especially, one might say, on a Sunday.

I do not feel all the hoopla about the eclipse that many feel. I intend to go out to view it Monday, briefly, but do not attribute any great power or influence to it. The eclipse clips nothing.

In more than sixty years of observation I have not seen huge, striking, world-shaking events happening when eclipses do. So I consider their power to be little more than that of an ordinary New Moon which we have, of course, every 29 days. The excitement about this one appears to me to be among "popular delusions and the madness of crowds." Or, if you disagree, that is cool.

Daily devotions of the ancient magi descend into our era
Ascending toward them if it can. Daily? Not "the News and 
Weather" but dues to all of us together, or to G*d. 
We work sometimes in seclusion but face inception of commingling. 

Infinitely varying multiplication, ramification mark the spells of 
Deity. Depending on drugs or drink is makeshift delusion. 
Accentuated links with those adapted to lift us higher grant us
Entree into lands rarely glimpsed with invisible guides.

There is always raw self-being, nude self-expression, a crowd upon
The beach. Tension-release accompanies freedom of motion and studied
Carelessness. Then what? Mastery in a castle on a rock, freedom
From worry or loss of reputation, daring; honor; fame.

Too much to ask? Clip the eclipse into a notebook, let it mark
An inspiring vision of something subtly intimate shared forever.
